bushjill+FollowDon’t cook pheasant like chickenRuined my first two birds before learning this! Pheasant is way leaner than store chicken, so it dries out super fast. The flavor is amazing though - richer and more earthy with that subtle gamey taste. Breast meat goes from tender to tough in minutes if overcooked. Now I brine overnight and cook low with moisture. What's your go-to method for keeping pheasant juicy? #hunting #PheasantCooking #GameMeat #WildGameCooking 153Share

bushjill+Followsolo hunting sounds cool… until the haulOn my last solo mule deer hunt, I packed the whole animal out in one brutal trip—legs shaking, back screaming. For elk though? That’s a different beast. 4-6 bag loads, and in warm weather, spoilage risk is real. Hanging meat in the shade helps, but timing is everything. Honestly, without a buddy, you're stuck hunting close to the road. Game bags like Argali? Absolute lifesavers. Any solo hunters here got tips for packing elk solo? #hunting #backcountryhunting #GameMeat #solohunting85Share
